To @ZZ whom t may concern.'

Be it known that I, ls/inc Lniaowlr a citizen of the United States, residingat Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful improvements in Calendars; and l do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, suoli as will enable others skilled-in the art to which it appertains to malte and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to characters of liefen ence marked thereon, whiclitform a part of this specification.

This invention relates, generally, to iinprovenients in calendars,- and the 'invention has for its principal object to provide a novel construction of calendar pad and holder therefor. a I

The invention has for a further object to provide a novel `constructionlof calendar pad, comprising .a set ,of -nionthly leaves, mounted on a rotatable member having finger pieces at its periphery, whereby the pad may be shifted to position a lgiven date indication of a top leaf in desired disclosed position; said calendar pad ,being supported in a novel holder having` a means for disclosing to view the said giyen vdate indication, combined with means cooperating with the finger pieces o f the lrotatable ineinher supporting the calendar pad, sothat stops are `provided for limiting the rotative motion ofthe pad whensaid rotatable meinber is actuated by the finger `of theuser.'

@ther objects of this invention, not at this time more particularly enumerated, will be `clearly understood from the following de- Figure l is a front elevation ofthe novel calendar device, made according` lto and embodying: the principles of this invention; Figure 2 .is a vertical v,longitudinal section through the saine, taken on line 2 2 in said Figure l; Figure 3 is afragmentary vertical longitudinal section, similar to that shown in Figure 2, but with the calendary aad removed from the holder, Figure i Ais a `f1eenie'italy'rear face view 0f tll'eheldel; Figure 5 is aV front face view of the Lcalendar pad; Figure .6 is a fragmentary rea face view. ofthe calendar pad;` Figure .7 is a side or edge elevation of .the calendar pad; Figure l8 isv a vertical section through the calendar pad, taken on line {8.-18 i'nF ure? 5 and Figure-(elisa fragmentaryview of a detached menthlv leaf of the Calendar rad- Smilarcharacters' Off reference are Played 1n `allpof the .here t, views, :to indicatecorresponding parts.

jleferringy now to said drawings, .the ref-` erence character l() indicates a bach-plate upon which the ,calendar pad is mounted; 1l indicates a@ rotatable member; and .i2 indicates a pad ,of monthly calendar leaves, the centeijportions of which are preferably adhesively secured together, and in turn adhesively secured to saidrotatable member 1l.

The marginal portion 13 yof eachV calendarl leaf is free, and lis initially connected with the .main body of the leaf by a ,circular perforated liner 14, which ,de'nes'the Vline` of' separation whereby said free marginal portion V13 of the leaf may be torn i-.wayfrom ltheniaiii body thereof, and from the pad, atl the desired time. The face of said niarginal .portion 13 y of each lleaf is divided into a plurality of radial panels, eaclipanel con- ,taining va date land .day .indication for the *month to which a vparticular leaf is devoted. Said rotatable member ll is provided at its periphery v with a plurality of radially extending` linger piecesfl, vwhich are respectively alinedwith ktherespect-ive date panels, `andV which project Voutwardly beyond the periphery .of the ypad of `calendar leaves. Said .pad of calendar leaves together with .the :rotatableinember ll uponwliich the vpad Eis secured, is rotatably atlixed to said backplate 10 yby means of a pintle, rivet or the like A16, and the upper marginal portion of said back-plate l0 isicutaway, as :at 17, to provide .a clearance notch vor indentation giving access to the iingerypieces 15o-f said rotatable member ll.' The lower end ofsaid Y backeplate extendsA downwardly Vbeyond the calendar Apad and rotatable -mcmb'erfli to provide a toneue v18. v

The novel holder for lthe calendar pad boye des ribed l 'ico llt)

- carrying means, constructed as above described, consists of amain body 19, provided in its upper portion with a receiving pocket or chamber 20, open at-its upper end, and into which said calendar pad carrying means may be inserted.

toni of said pocket or chamber 20, and in alinement withV the rear wall of the latter, is Va receiving slot or socket 21 in which the tongue 18 of said back-plate 1() is received, when the calendar pad carrying means is inserted within said pocket or chamber 20.

The front wall of said main body 19 is cutaway at itsupper marginal portion, at a point intermediate the sides of said body,

to provide an opening 22 with which the data bearing panels of the calendar leaves may be successively disclosed to view, when the calendar pad is turned. The side margins o f said opening 22, at their upper ends,

1are also cut back to. provide stop-shoulders 23, which serve tolimit the finger actuated movement of the rotatable member 11 in a manner subsequently described. In like manner, the rear wall of said main body 19 is correspondingly cutaway to provide similar stop-shoulders23.

Said main. body 19 with its calendar pad devices in place, is preferablysupported in the manner of an easel, and'ltol this end there is suitably secured to the back of said main body 19 a prop-.memberl24 (see Figures 2 and The face of said main body may be suitably inscribed with a yearly calendar dis-v play arranged in panels together with such additional data, as 'may be found convenient l to vtabulate and display', all asV shown more particularly in Figure 1 of the drawings. I

In making use of the novel calendar de vice above described, it will be apparent,

that a finger piece 15o-f the rotatable meml' [ber 11 projects upwardly above the openy opening 22.

ing 22 in the front wall of said holder 19 intermediate the stop-shoulders 23 and 23, e and that tliecalendar pad'will beso positioned as to'expose one ofthe date bearing panels'of the top calendar leaf through said To shift the calendar pad so as to register-with the opening 22 the panel of-the'calendar leaf bearing 'a succeedingV or next ensuring date indication, the user places a iinger againsty the exposed ngerpiece 15 and presses the same to the left, or in the direction of the arrow wshown in FigureV 1, thereby rotating the member 1 1 Vandthe calendar pad 12 connected therewith.' Y The rotary movement thus imparted toV the member 11 and pad 12 is limitedv and determined by` the stop-shoulders 23 and 23', for as the finger presses against the Y finger-piece 15, the finger moves therewith until it .contacts with said stop-shoulders which, being immovable, prevent further Extending downwardly into the body of said holder-19 from the bot! Y nesesito application of moving force Vto the engaged finger-piece 15, andy consequently thereupon arrests the rotary movement of the calendar 'padfand member 11. The stop-shoulders are so spaced'relative to the normal stationary position of the exposed iingerk piece, that a movement of a degree corresponding to the width of a date panel of the 'calendar leaf is alone permitted, and consequently the `imparted and permitted rotation is just suiiicient to move the succeeding date panel from behind the wall of the body 19 to a positionregistered with and exposed in the opening 22 of the latter,

while at the same time moving the previously exposed date panel to concealed po-H sition behind said wall".

When it is desired to disclose Ya calendar leaf for a succeeding month, the back-plate g5 10 is removed from the pocket of the holder, and the detachable marginal date bearing portion of the proceeding monthly leaf is torn away along the linev of perforations, thus exposing they date bearing portion of the ensuing or succeeding month, whereupon the back-platelO with the calendar pad and rotatable member is again inserted into the pocket of the holder ready for renewed operation anduse relative to the newly exposed calendar leaf. Y

From the aboveY description, it will be quite evident, that this invention provides a novel calendar construction, which while simpleand'cheap to manufacture, -is very easily manipulated, and which provides Y this invention as set forth in the foregoing e specification, and as defined in the appended claims. I-Ience, I do not limit Vmy invention to the exact arrangements and coinybiiiatioiis of the saidl devices and parts as described in said specification, nor do I confine myself tothe exact details oftlie construction of said parts as illustrated in the accompanying drawings.-

'A calendar device, comprising'a holder member provided in its upper end with a downwardly` extending pocket terminating at its lower end in a receivingslot contiguous to the rear wall of said pocket, a removable back-plate within saidv pocket having its lower. end engaged in said receiving slot, a rotatable member mountedron saidV iso back-plate, a pad of monthly calendar leaves fixed to said rotatable member having radially arranged date bearing panels, said rotatable member having radial fingers projecting from its periphery in correspondence with said date bearing panels or" said calendar leaves, and said holder member having in its front Wall an opening to display a date bearingr panel registered i0 therewith and in its front and rear Walls indented notches to give accessto a linger for actuating said rotatable member and calendar pad.

In testimony, that I claim the invention set forth above I have hereunto set my hand 16 this 19th day of January, 1924.
